Houbigant Royale Collection: the heritage of Europe's courts
The memory collection of Houbigant Paris
The Royale Collection is the heritage line of Houbigant Paris, a house founded in 1775 by Jean-François Houbigant and one of the oldest perfume houses in the world. Creations that carry the legacy of a purveyor to the royal courts of Europe, from Joséphine de Beauharnais to Queen Victoria. A collection that crosses the centuries in the French aristocratic signature.
Fougère Royale, a monument of perfumery history
The Royale Collection is carried by an absolutely iconic fragrance: Fougère Royale. Created in 1882 by Paul Parquet for Houbigant, it was the first fragrance to use synthetic coumarin, and it gave its name to an entire olfactory family (the fougère). An essential monument, offered here as an Eau de Parfum Extrême.
The creations of the Royale Collection
The Royale Collection brings together Fougère Royale, Bois Mystique and Figuier Noir — compositions that blend the house's classic heritage with contemporary, powerfully concentrated writing.
Who is the Royale Collection for, and when to wear it?
The Royale Collection is for lovers of classic French perfumery, who appreciate historic trails and powerful concentrations. The creations belong to the aromatic (Fougère Royale), woody (Bois Mystique) and fruity (Figuier Noir) families. If you enjoy the Royale Collection, also explore Caron, Goutal Paris and Creed — three other European heritage houses at Soleil d'Or.
